  Hi Junie, could you let us know what site you’re importing from and what site you’re importing into? And, may we try importing on our end?

  Please send links for both sites, as well as confirmation that it’s okay for us to give it a try here. Thank you in advance!

  Thanks for that Wix link. I’m trying the import on my end, and will reply here with an update as soon as I am able.

  To explain a bit behind the scenes, Wix changed the data structure of their sites recently, and this has lead to importing issues on our end such as the error message you see. But we have found that if we keep re-trying the import it does eventually work out.

  This import process is also made more difficult due to the fact that Wix does not actually support or provide an option for exporting content so apparently they really do not want to give you a way to leave, and we’re doing the best we can here to “work around” their export limitation and find a way to import anyway. ;)

  Thanks for your patience!

  Hi! Just letting you know we think we’ve got this. Can you double check now to ensure your content is moved over?

  You can edit your page name / layout here:

  And then you can add those posts to your page:
